- Abstract
In the intra- and extra-Carpathian areas of Romania, 8 salt-related nature monuments and Natura 2000 sites were declared by law, most of them in areas with ancient or active salt mines (Turda, Ocna Sibiului, Praid, Slănic Prahova), or salt springs (Sărăţel, Sarea lui Buzău). Two other geological reserves represent areas with saline exo- and endokarst (Algheanu, Meledic) in the Subcarpathian Nappe of the East Carpathians. A large number of remarkable salt-related archeological sites occur both in the East Carpathians, as well as in the Transylvanian basin, accompanied by brine wells and salt springs. Archaeological research in areas with salt springs and fountains recovered various remains from the Neo-Eneolithic (Lunca-Poiana Slatinei), Bronze Age and the second Iron Age (Băile Figa), along with elements from post-Roman, medieval and premodern times. All these natural and cultural sites are briefly presented here.
